You know what's live. You know what we're doing. I'm wound up tonight. I'm ready to go. It's going to be a good show. Well, it's because I drank a lot of fucking coffee before the show. A little jittery right now. One of my fucking TVs, one of my TVs isn't working in the background. I don't like this. That's not a good omen. It's not a good omen, yeah, but well, let's get this party started. Let's bring on the one, the only, the impeccable. Look at you, huh what?
Speaker 1:hey hey, you're back in. You're back in your hostel yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I got laundry going in the other part there.
Speaker 1:It's gonna be noisy with the mic we're picking up laundry going in my other part of the studio. Uh For the listeners. Lou is in a jacket and a shirt and a tie and he made an announcement before the show. I didn't know, I didn't. You're looking good, buddy, looking good, thank you, buddy, thank you, shop-dressed man, you wear it. Well, I was listening to some Robert palmer, so that's funny. You should talk about him, you should mention him. I'm gonna bring him up as soon as we get done bringing on uh little markie smith, is this Milk Duds and Cumquats Little?
Speaker 3:Marky Smith hey how you doing Little Marky Smith.
Speaker 4:Lou.
Speaker 2:Shut up.
Speaker 3:No, you shut up, I'm getting the last word.
Speaker 2:Mom, mom, mom. Little Marky Smith, I'm getting the last word. I feel like deliver. Mom, mom, mom.
Speaker 3:Little Marky Smith. No Big, too heavy. Marky Smith, come on.
Speaker 1:Good evening Patty Yossi. Good evening Allison Lundy.
Speaker 3:I gotta say something. The suit on Luke kind of makes me a little more ose, because I'm thinking that's what Neil Peart would have looked like if they had inducted Russian to the rock and roll hall of fame sooner, did you say verbose? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to be Hermosa Mimosa. I'm from Jersey.
Speaker 3:We try long words in New Jersey. It doesn't always work, for us.
Speaker 2:I'm not like.
Speaker 4:Mad Dog Russo he's morose, right, yeah, morose.
Speaker 1:Sanguine. So Robert Palmer, it's funny you mention him, lou. Why is that? I was listening to a song from on the radio and if you really look at it, he did what very few there's very few in rock that do what he did and that is come in as a single. Just a singer, Just a singer, yeah, right, and he wasn't a pop singer, right.
Speaker 4:Not in the sense most people would think I don't think no, no, he sang't know.
Speaker 1:no, he's saying uh, you know, he had his own groove, he had his own style, there's like rm being kind of a soul thing. Yeah, yeah and he's a white guy, right, yep, but I just look at his career and I'm like you know what good for him. Like the dude that's, that's got to be one of the hottest things to do is just be a singer, yeah.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And come into the music industry and be successful. Because if you look at it, what do you think? The percentile is Mark of singles, just lone singers that make it.
Speaker 4:Very few. A lot of times it's pretty schlucky material too, yeah, you know, and they don't last long right right, yeah boz skaggs had a career as just a singer? Yeah, but yeah. But at the same time, you know he's all, he plays guitar.
Speaker 3:Yeah, sure, I think the best example of that, the one that luck that really did, was rod stewart.
Speaker 1:He always covered material he came in with a band. He came in with a band yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3:Joe cocker is another one joe cocker.
Speaker 4:He might be more of an exception, you know whatever he, but he was known as joe cocker first.
Speaker 1:Yeah, to us anyone van morrison came in with the band them, you know, it's just robert palma came in by himself and kind of created his own niche, you know, in in music and it was good yeah you know, he, he was, he wasn't the greatest by any means no as far as a technical singer.
Speaker 1:Now, right, but he just was smooth and he always kept that. You know he always dressed impeccable, kind of like Brian Ferry or me, Like. So if Lou was the singer tonight, he's dressed like Robert Palmer. If that's there you go. That's how I can give the listeners a good perspective.
Speaker 2:Feel the heat.
Speaker 4:You know, when he was in Power Station it was pretty cool because he never considered that a thing. That was going to go on and on. I think the the duran duran guys expected more and uh, it was funny because I think he I read an interview he said he goes, I'm not going to have these kids tell me what to do, like you know, maybe being almost a generation older, yeah and and that and that's like the confidence that you have.
Speaker 1:Right, you, but he had his little stay in the 80s too. You know he wasn't like an old guy that came in and like a Roy Orbison joining the. You know the Wilburys like the oldest one there and he's. You know Robert Palmer had been around but he was still around in the 80s.
Speaker 4:I think he was considered a sex symbol during that part too. You think, oh those videos. I think he was considered a sex symbol during that part too. You think, oh those videos? I think so. A guy I worked with, he goes. I thought he was the coolest dude when I was like 12. He goes, I want to look like that there you go then yeah, yep, whoever produced those videos?
Speaker 1:brilliant.
Speaker 4:Some of the best marketing.
Speaker 1:They figured out the whole ZZ Top, zz Top, yeah, type thing. Have an the whole zz top, zz top, yeah, yeah. Uh. Type thing. Have an ongoing theme and uh, but that you know, addicted to love that everybody was like what you know it's just a great uh uh concept yeah, and that drum sound had a lot to do.
Speaker 4:I think that was that. You know, it sounded big. It was big and fat and huge on the radio, or however you heard it. Yeah, that was the 80s. You know, 80s brought in the big drum sound too absolutely yes, yes and I liked power station's version of bang a gong.
Speaker 1:By the way, I did too me too, I think they did a respectable job. They didn't try to. Uh, you know, they put their little twist on it, a more modern, hotter edge to it. Of course no one can, no one can beat there. That's one of those songs where the original is just always going to be the best version. Yeah, yeah, because it was stripped down right. So power station went the total opposite direction and gave it a big 80s sound modern, booming sound, gated drums and everything yeah in the original, though.
Speaker 4:It's kind of cool those breaks and it goes when the drums come in.
Speaker 1:It's just so simple, but yep it's stripped down, it's just sleek, you know it's, it's smooth uh it's one of those songs that's what keeps it as, that's what makes it an epic song really I was like, I was like catchy too, yeah, yeah, the groove that that, that, that, that, like it's just a groove that everybody can listen to. So what's been going on, gentlemen?
Speaker 4:a lot. I need to try. I need a recharge.
Speaker 1:It's time, for I'm gonna get a recharge soon, soon, okay, take some time off and now I have to ask you you didn't get, you didn't get all dressed up just for the podcast, because you know it, you know I know it's a live stream, but I told you live stream is just a means to an end it's confidential.
Speaker 4:I was offered a slot on a ticket.
Speaker 1:That's all I'm saying are you going to chicago in a week?
Speaker 4:my ticket.
Speaker 1:I've got my ticket oh, look at mark gets dressed up with his kfc nice try mark no that, look at it's a kfc.
Speaker 3:Uh, uh scoff yeah, yeah, it's liverpool fc. You mother fuck, you fuck. All right, the listeners again go watch this on YouTube.
Speaker 1:The first thing you're going to see when you look at Mark and he has this fucking scarf on it's, red with white letters, and all you see is FC. Pretty much, yeah, so it's pretty much KFC. Oh, now it looks like a Christmas scarf. That's even worse, dude.
Speaker 3:Obviously you don't know footie culture.
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't matter by the way, 42 more wednesdays to christmas, so nice, nice, we're right there, or 32 I don't feel like that.
Speaker 4:I like christmas. I like christmas. Yeah, I always ask on quizzes what's your favorite halloween?
Speaker 1:call me a traditional christmas yeah, I, I love, I love christmas I really do, but thanksgiving just seems to be my favorite, because that's when my house is full and that's my daughter's favorite.
Speaker 3:She will not work on thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:She'll volunteer to take christmas yeah she doesn't want to work on thanksgiving right yeah, I just have all you know it's have friends and their families over, and. But the bad part of that is eventually that's going to kind of start to succeed. It's just natural Right. Oh yeah, yeah, um cause kids grow up, their kids grow up, and then there's splitting time and it's kind of like, uh, that it just kind of hurts just that much more. You know what I mean? Yeah, but Christmas is really stripped down to just the family.
Speaker 1:You know, this will be the first thanksgiving without my daughter, oh wow oh, boy, wow, ah, look at mark for the listeners. Mark just wiped his eyes and he did a little sniffle and yeah, he's a, he's a, he's a daddy daughter and now he's locked himself up.
Speaker 4:Now his eyes smell like fried chicken.
Speaker 3:Respect the club hey, they're owned by Fenway Sports Group, so for better or for worse, did I ever tell you the KFC strip club story?
Speaker 1:it involves grease, I guess. Okay, so when I was in customs, going back to probably I don't know the the 2000, we'll just say like 2007, 2000, 2008 right, one of my buddies is retiring and they have a retirement party at a strip club in hollywood, flor. So, all right, I'll go, and I hadn't been to one of those in a long time and my wife's cool, she's just like you know, just don't bring it home type thing, right. So I attend and there's a bunch of us there, all these customs guys, and the dude that's retiring knows that I kind of like asian girls, right?
Speaker 3:I don't know. It's just a thing. The secret's out every I g big secret never guess that one?
Speaker 1:um, and there's this gorgeous asian stripper in there, gorgeous, right and out of nowhere. She just comes up and grabs my, grabs my hand and says come on, and I'm like I, I didn't, I'm not paying for this. And she points at my buddy she goes, he paid for it right so I'm gonna get the lap dance right now. Nothing seedy happened. I didn't kind of. You know there was no, I'm, it's not that guy, especially in those rooms.
Speaker 1:I know this camera's in those rooms, so you know you get the lap dance and and uh, she's, you know, like a snake. You know what I mean. Like writhing around and trying to get that extra tip. You know what I mean. Acting like you know oh, I really like you. And blah, blah, blah. So when she's done, we walk back over and I sit down and she walks away and I'm like, oh fuck, she got me. She got me with the stripper dust.
Speaker 3:You couldn't go home, the stripper dust I'm like I smell like stripper dust, oh god.
Speaker 1:I'm like, oh fuck, this isn't good right but. I I, so I kind of okay, I get napkins and I'm trying to wipe. No, no, no. So, all right, it's time for me to go, like I check out and I get in my car and it even smells more like stripper dust now and your car is going to smell like and your car is going to smell like Now, yeah.
Speaker 1:But I'm driving home and I say, oh, I see it, I see a KFC, I have an idea. So I call my wife and I said, hey, baby, I'm on my way home, do you want some KFC? And she's like sure, yeah, okay, okay, perfect. So I go through the drive-thru and I order, you know like an eight-piece bucket or whatever it is right, and it comes with four biscuits and I'm like can I get an extra, you know extra biscuit for whatever 40 cents? And they're like sure. So I pay for my order. I drive out of the drive-thru and I pull into the first spot that I see and I reach in that box. I reach in the box and I pull out a biscuit and I smell it and I proceed to rub that fucking biscuit all over my neck, my arms I'm fucking rubbing the biscuits all over me right.
Speaker 1:This crumbs literally everywhere you fall apart I fucking rub that biscuit all over me and I just I get out of the car and I get all the fucking crumbs out and I get and my wife says you smell like a biscuit.
Speaker 4:It worked, it worked.
Speaker 1:The only way to fight strip of dust is a KFC biscuit.
Speaker 4:It fucking worked, because that's all you can smell with a biscuit, I go, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I was sitting next to it in the car and I don't know. You know how the smell gets stuck on you.
Speaker 3:Let me ask you, with your taste of food, did the biscuit turn you on rubbing against you more?
Speaker 1:well, oh, I had other things in mind, like not making my wife fucking lose her mind, so my priority was just smell like a biscuit. Yeah right. So for all you listeners out, there are you men. If you ever go to strip club and you get doused with stripper dust, find a fucking kfc, buy a box of biscuits, eat two of them and rub the third one all over you and you will smell like a biscuit and you can explain that away easily yeah, yeah, I'm just getting a rash.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the fucking KFC biscuit, because I'm like I don't know what made me think of that. Why would I think of biscuit? But it fucking worked. It worked Because they're moist, right, so they still got that oil on them. I can just biscuit.
Speaker 3:They're good, they're good.
Speaker 4:And then I eat one. The chicken alone can seep in your clothing. Exactly, right home exactly.
Speaker 1:So then I ate one on the way home. So then when she said, why do you smell like a biscuit? I say, well, I, there was four, now there's three in there because I ate one on the way home, the conspiracy thickens. See, see, I can always thinking buddy wheels always turning in this house buddy, gotta, gotta avoid the wrath of con true yeah my wife was a
Speaker 1:woman. God rest her soul. She was a wonderful, wonderful woman and uh, but she did not like that when she said don't bring it home. Uh, we went to hooters one time when I had my friends come down and she didn't know any. We'd never gone to Hooters. One time when I had my friends come down and she didn't know any, we'd never gone to Hooters. But all she heard was the stories about Hooters, right, and the girls. And so my buddies wanted to get pictures with these Hooters girls right, they're Florida girls and they're all pretty.
Speaker 1:So we get pictures and then my buddy gets them developed and before he leaves, he hands me the pictures and I look at them, I. And before he leaves, he hands me the pictures and I look at him, okay, and I put them on the counter and I like I come home later on that day and she is furious. I told you don't bring this into the house. I go, baby. It was just no, you brought don't ever bring this into the house, all right, all right. I'm like, okay, I apologize. He gave me the pictures and she just like we never fought, we never argued, we just don't talk, which was always the best way to do things because you're gonna. You don't say something that you're gonna regret, right you know? Because in those moments you say something, they lock that shit in oh yeah, and it will come back on you two years later.
Speaker 3:I'm 55 and I still stuff when I was 28 comes up and comes Nope, this is how you like it, so that's how you get.
Speaker 1:But that was two years ago, baby. Nope, nope, this is how you like it, that's how you're going to get it. How do you remember that baby? How do you remember?
Speaker 4:that baby. How do you? Oh, I don't. Oh, it's not hard, it's in, it's in the wiring all right time for 45 poker.

Speaker 1:They never stopped the show that's right, okay, so this is. This is a unique thing. I have. There's two 45s in this package. Right, there's two 45s. They're both from private stock records, so the one here on top is is disc one and the one on the two is disc two. Mark, which disc? Which 45? Do you want One or two?
Speaker 3:I'm not looking at them. Uh, I have an affinity for number two, so pick number two.
Speaker 1:Something right Just doesn't sound All right, so it's from Private Stock Records. Oh boy, you got Rocky by Austin Roberts. Oh, and then you got the Power by Austin Roberts. Austin Power, yeah, you'd probably be better off with Austin Power.

All right, now we're going to do me, and then Patty will be the fourth pick. Patty says what does stripper dust smell like? It's a combination of glitter and heavy perfume, very sweet smelling perfume. They put it on purposefully because they know that the guys that they don't usually like the people, that the guys that go there, they're in it for the money.
Speaker 1:So they have these little ways of uh, I'm not going to say I dated the strip when she told me this stuff, but they have these little ways of getting like you know, I'll fucking with the customers. Yeah, yeah, and that's one of them.
Speaker 3:That's why they they writhe on you like a snake and they rub all that shit all, and if they get divorced they'll be back more.

Speaker 1:So you got disco text, though that's your hurt, that's your hurt.
Speaker 2:That's what we need. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1:This could jump me into a good spot right here. Come on, come on From Columbia Records. Columbia Records, there it is.

Speaker 5:Lou all right, here you go for patty patty can tie it up with you patty in the lead right, yeah, yeah yeah, atco records atco.
Speaker 1:And let me see patty wrote something on this. Uh, don't read her diary. It says patty.

Nice, nice, cornelius brothers and sister rose, it's too late to turn back now. I believe, I believe, I believe Now was that a bigger hit than the Manhattan's Kiss and Say Goodbye.
Speaker 4:Good question. Good question, you know.
Speaker 1:All right, this is going to come down marked.
Speaker 4:I'm going to go with the Cornelius Brothers on that. I don't know. I'm leaning toward that. I think that might be yeah.
Speaker 3:Might have been a big hit. All right, all right, getting my big box of wax out here, let's go. So I'm picking for me first. Yep, oh, I don't even need to open it up. The sleeve says it. All the monkeys. I'm a believer or I'm not.
Speaker 1:Your stepping stone you're still not going to win this one you're right, wait, let me make sure that's what's in it. Hold on, hold on yeah, oh, look stairway to heaven.
Speaker 3:No, colgham's record. Colgham's records I.
Speaker 4:I think when Mark has rivals equals Patty's. I mean, Loves the Right was a bigger hit than you might think. I think I'm hopeless at this point.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty much done, but he still has that. Austin Roberts, you got the power.
Speaker 4:That was a big hit Austin Roberts. Get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2:I got the power. That was a big hit. Austin roberts, get the fuck.
Speaker 4:I got the power, all right is it possible that that austin power song if we all heard it we'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah, all right mark had the money, but it's no help.
Speaker 1:Now this, this is Lou.
Speaker 4:This could put Lou losing a way to head into a different spot right here Motown Records, motown, diana Ross and the Supremes.
Speaker 3:It's either I'm living in shame or I'm so glad I got somebody like you around. Why don't you guys pick?
Speaker 4:I don't know either one of those songs pick. I don't know either one of those songs. I don't know either one of them. I don't either one yeah, dead it's a dead.
Speaker 3:It's a dead card dead card yeah, it's no good.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's between me and patty, now between me and patty scott, come on, don't screw me.
Speaker 3:I even put the one I picked first back and picked out a second one.
Speaker 2:I don't Planet.
Speaker 4:Records. Mark has a stronger hand.
Speaker 3:Planet Records Pointer Sisters. Jump for my love, jump. That was a big hit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, jump yeah and.
Speaker 3:I actually I got some consistency there yeah. Yeah, and I actually I got some consistency there. Yeah, yeah, okay, the most important pick Patty. Here we go, patty's pick.
Speaker 1:All right, good Patty, have beginners luck and win this one.
Speaker 3:Ooh, let me make sure it's the same thing in there. Okay, rod Stewart. Oh, let me make sure it's the same thing in there.
Speaker 2:Okay, rod stewart, some guys have all the luck.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that's a big hit. Well, it was backed by uh, I was only joking, that wasn't a big hit so what was the bigger hit for that?
Speaker 1:the point assist is jump or rod stewart's I'm more familiar with rod stewart, some guys.
Speaker 3:That was a big hit. Some guys have all the luck, by the way, robert it was I think.
Speaker 4:I think jumps lasted longer I think.
Speaker 1:I think the point assist is probably. Yeah, I'm just saying I'm not Because it's mine. Patty wants to win, she's like Rod, yeah Rod.
Speaker 3:I agree with Patty Rod.
Speaker 1:All right. So let's go with the three. Let's go with the three. I have a solid fame Big hit. Right Then I got the Manhattans Kiss and say goodbye Big hit. And then the third one was what? Jump Pointer Sisters, the Pointer Sisters, jump Patty has Gilbert O'Sullivan Alone Again. Naturally Too Late to Turn Back Now. Right, and Rod Stewart, some guys have all the luck.
Speaker 3:I think Manhattan's is. I know it was a hit, but Patty seems to have three stronger hits. Your weakest is kiss and say goodbye definitely.
Speaker 4:But it comes down to that Alone again. I mean I think that was a top 10. This is close. It's close. Let the American people decide.
Speaker 1:I don't know who's out there. We're not exactly. There's Patty.
Speaker 4:Patty and Allison. Allison bailed yeah.

Speaker 3:We're from Hillsdale, we know what we're doing.
Speaker 1:Here we go, new Jersey talk.
Speaker 4:I'm not from Hillsdale, mister, I'm from South Jersey.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you northern boys are yeah, I moved up there, I moved uptown. Uptown, Hot water scarf, that's where I want to be. That's a good song by Prince Uptown, yeah, uptown.
Speaker 1:Off the Dirty Mind album, actually, yep All right, I'm going to pick an album from 76 that we didn't get to last week and it's well. It's the Royal Scam Steely Dan, my favorite Steely Dan song, great album, very underrated, I think, in the catalog. It's always overlooked by Pretzel, logic and Asia, but I think it holds its own against them. You know what do you think. I its own against them. You know what do you think.
Speaker 4:I do, I do. Yeah, it's a great album.
Speaker 1:Track listing on it is Kid Charlemagne Starts off with Kid Charlemagne the Caves of Altamira Don't Take Me Alive, signed in Stranger the Fez, haitian Divorce. Everything you Did the Royal Skin. Altamira don't take me alive, signing stranger the fez, haitian divorce, everything you did the royal skin. How is that not one of their fucking best albums? That's great, you know what I mean, but nobody ever talks about it well, what was there wasn't a hit, was there?
Speaker 4:there wasn't a big charter control, I mean?
Speaker 1:I mean they got radio play, well, maybe not I don't know, but any record, any Steely Dan fan. I think could look at that and say, yeah, it doesn't really get the respect it deserves. I think, as we talk about Steely Dan albums, solid songs, all of those songs, by the way, are on their greatest hits as we talk about Steely Dan albums, solid songs. All of those songs, by the way, are on their greatest hits.
Speaker 2:Okay cool, Greatest hits Interesting Don't Take Me Alive the Fez.
Speaker 1:Haitian Divorce Right.
Speaker 4:Mm-hmm, yeah, the album that followed was full of hits.
Speaker 1:And that was. Asia so that's one of those. They just were on a fucking killer writing streak, you know they were in the zone.
Speaker 4:What was the album before that?
Speaker 1:in 75, no Press of Logic was 74 let's see, I don't think I have that in front of me.
Speaker 4:I can tell you in a second let's see did they do an album in 75?
Speaker 1:I think they did the live album what band in the 70s didn't do one every?
Speaker 4:year and if you're credence.
Speaker 3:He did two a year.
Speaker 1:Unless you're Bruce Springsteen. Let's see Discography.
Speaker 3:Oh, katie Lyde was 75.
Speaker 1:Yeah, katie Lyde so yeah, can't Buy a Thrill Countdown to Ecstasy. Pretzel Logic 74, katie Lyde 75, real Scam 76, asia 77, gaucho 80. Right, and then they didn't do another album for 20 years. Yeah, but what I mean?
Speaker 2:that's fucking from pretzel logic to gaucho is like wow, yeah, yeah, you know in six years.
Speaker 4:Maybe one day I'll listen to gaucho and like the album better. That's what I know you don't like the kick drum. It's not just that, it's just the mature, it's just. I don't like the sound of it 80s were they trying to it. To me they seem to go a little too in this heavily processed direction. Like I said, slick is still stilly then kind of were, kind of getting smooth.
Speaker 4:They were still a rock band, but it became a little too. I mean, I felt the same way about the doobie brothers, but minute by minute and that's the same time frame I just thought it was just a little too slick like slick that I didn't really care for yeah, all right, mark, give us an album from 76 I'm trying to remember what I said last week uh, we'll correct, you don't worry okay, uh, hold on a second.
Speaker 3:hold on on Wire. Jeff Beck. That was the second album of Fusion. He went from hard blues rock to Fusion and no singles on there that you would know, but he was definitely in the really tight sound.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you're listening to that. I don't know much about Jeff Beck. I've never bought an album.
Speaker 3:All the cool kids in high school. When I was going to high school in the 80s, they had either that album or the one before it painted on their denim jackets because that's a guitar player. He was the guy, he was the friend. He was part of the Holy Trinity Jeff Beck, eric Clapton, jimmy Page but Beck always did his own thing. He went off and did whatever the hell he wanted.
Speaker 1:That's what I loved about him. Right, All right Lou.
Speaker 4:Gordon Lightfoot Summertime Dream yeah.
Speaker 1:That had a record of the Edmund.
Speaker 4:Fitzgerald on it Greatest story ever told on vinyl. That's a lot of words in that song.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times Anytime you get the fucking word Gitche Gumee in a song, that's a winner. Fucking right, that's fucking masterful, yeah.
Speaker 4:That's masterful the way he sings it. The words have bird in there.
Speaker 1:It's Gitche Gumee yeah From the big lake they call Gitche Goomey. Yeah, come on, man. He did his homework, he did his geography.
Speaker 4:That's right, you got the story right. Yeah, he got it right. The drummer in that's the legendary Jim Gordon. Mark does a really good Jim Gordon impersonation he did on Music Relish the other night. Oh really, let's hear it. Yeah, yeah, jim Gordon, legendary drummer.
Speaker 3:Mom, mom.
Speaker 1:Oh, is he the one that did he kill his mother? Yes, he did. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3:Oh, I knocked on my desk. You're terrible, mark, you're terrible. So when I did it last week, I knocked on my desk and my wife and my son went downstairs. It did so loud that somebody was banging on the door, Not doing that anymore.
Speaker 4:Needless to say, I was appalled. Yes, you were Just like with wristly grips and all that.
Speaker 1:Absolutely appalled.
Speaker 4:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:Alright, Lou I just did mine didn't I? Oh, you did yours. Yeah, yeah, I'm going with my real this was my real introduction to Bob Seger. Is the Night Moves Out Good album? That was my big introduction to Bob Seger. And there was like I fucking sat in the beanbag chair. I had my Harman Kardon headphones on that. I didn't know what I had at the time. I don't think me and my brothers knew that my father was giving us some quality fucking equipment and uh, cause he was an audiophile, my father loved him.
Speaker 1:His friends loved like they knew good stereo stuff and they knew good stolen stereo stuff too. I'm just going to leave it at that.
Speaker 1:Um yeah, new, good stolen stereo stuff too. I'm just gonna leave it at that. Um yeah, and I sat in that orange beanbag chair in what we called the middle room because we only a very small apartment and I had those and I listened to this album front to back numerous times over, like in one sitting. You know, rock and roll never forgets Night moves. Fire down below Sun, burst baby Right Sun burst. Sunspot baby. Main Street, come to Papa. Ship of Fools and Mary Lou, I mean Solid record Solid Good probably.
Speaker 1:I think it's his best I would say it's his best, yeah, good balance of hard rockers and some of his most heartfelt ballads, I mean and some great musicians.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think he's the memphis boys, the memphis gang, whatever we're calling that oh yeah oh yeah, they were the wrecking crew of of muscle Shoals.
Speaker 1:Main Street is one of those songs that I'll always listen to. Yeah, and Night Moves too, hey, you know what Do you have? Siriusxm, I do All. Right. Now let me ask you this Do you have a feature in yours Maybe it's, I don't know each car, whatever package comes with, but I've noticed this over the last two or three months that every time I turn to a channel, I don't catch the middle of songs anymore. It backs up to the beginning, yeah, of a song.
Speaker 1:so every channel and then it has a setting where you can rewind it. Now they used to have that in the old original series, like the kit that you would put in your car and you would run the fucking cord up to your roof and had a little magnet that was your antenna, right yeah, and they had it where you could stop. It had a little remote and you could rewind it, or it would hold for 45 minutes and then it would kick on to live music. But uh, I just know that it didn't dawn on me until I'm like why do I keep hearing the beat? Am I that lucky? Like driving up to saint augustine? I'm like you know, hour half into it. I'm like how?
Speaker 4:do I get in the beginning of songs like wow, I'm fucking.
Speaker 1:I just play the lottery wrong it's a new feature yeah well, I got.
Speaker 3:Just if anyone's looking to save money, I elected the streaming-only plan, which is the cheapest. So I got it on my phone, because everyone's got Bluetooth in their car, and with the phone I can go back and forth between live yeah, I can hit live and it'll go into whatever they're playing. But I like that feature because you see a song you like.
Speaker 3:You're not going to go in the middle, you know right, yeah all right give us an album mark um, I'm going to go with wind and weathering. The second album in 1976 from genesis.
Speaker 4:All right, two records yep, and it was the last album of steve hackett. They did two records that year, yeah, yeah, and probably a tour also and I'm putting scott to sleep with that one no, no, no, uh.
Speaker 1:Does genesis have the fleetwood max syndrome? What do you mean after peter gabriel? A transition no, they went from popular when phil collins took over.
Speaker 4:It was a pretty seamless transition. I feel like it was a little different.
Speaker 1:What were the hits with peter gabriel?
Speaker 4:they didn't really have many hits, so that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I mean, the landlines got embroidered. So when Phil Collins took over, right, it's like nobody knows.
Speaker 1:There's a generation that doesn't really they know.
Speaker 2:Peter.
Speaker 1:Gabriel as a solo artist, but nobody listens that. I knew we weren't listening to Genesis pre-Phil.
Speaker 4:Collins, no, no, if you did, you went back to it. I think for the most part I agree. I mean the first time I heard them was Follow you, follow Me, yeah, and so that wasn't the first album with Phil Collins as a singer. No, that was the first album after Steve Hackett. The guitar player, left, yeah. So, they had some album and then when steve hackett left.
Speaker 3:They did it, and then there were three which had no hits until the very last song is follow you, follow me. So it was like at the very end they're saying okay, this is what we're going to start doing, and it's a great song it's a great song and they exploded, yeah I love everything from genesis. I I'm from that point on. They were just they were.
Speaker 1:They were, uh, they were one of the powerhouse bands of the 80s I still listen to abacad I still listen to.
Speaker 4:Invisible touch are good albums and yeah, duke is a good, duke is a good record excellent album that. That was. You know. That was the first. After follow you, follow me. That was the breakthrough record commercially for them what's your favorite genesis song?
Speaker 4:oh god um, it's a hard to. I mean, it depends I. I'm in the mood lately. It's been uh, things from uh trick of the tail dance and volcano squonk. Um, I think of their big period. I do like abacab is a great song, it's also. It's also a jam, it's. It's a jam. That was a hit. Yeah, oh my.
Speaker 3:God.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah oh. You know, in the modern period it's a sick fucking song with Mama from the Genesis record.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Turn around turn around yeah, that song, why does it?
Speaker 1:sound so lame Because I don't have it hooked up to my. I mean it sounds slow.
Speaker 4:In my opinion. I don't think Duke is kind of a muddy sounding record to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Let's see, there we go. Don't get us kicked off youtube that in a radio that sounds just like him, yep yep, I love my favorite genesis song I love abacab too, by the way, I do love that song and in the 80s he had an edge to his voice.
Speaker 3:He was almost screaming at times it was like hard pop, some of those songs he was just great to blast. Remember Three Sides Live. That was a really intense album.
Speaker 1:What about you, Mark? What's your favorite Genesis song?
Speaker 3:It's impossible for me to pick out.
Speaker 1:What's the first song that popped into your head?
Speaker 3:Firth of Fifth, ah yes, which has the most haunting guitar solo and flute solo. I think, evan, that was with Peter Gabriel.
Speaker 1:That was the problem with Genesis and Peter Gabriel. They used fucking flutes.
Speaker 2:Shut up. I'm a tall man. End of story. End of story, I think case closed.
Speaker 1:Subject dropped.
Speaker 4:You know, I agree, I think you know if they had not had Lamb Lies Down and Broadway with Peter Gabriel, you know, if they had not had Lamb Lies Down and Broadway with Peter Gabriel, that was something that did get them some attention. Before that they were probably kind of floundering, at least in the States. But at the same time I think Phil Collins is a better singer. I like Peter Gabriel's so much better solo Me too. You know what's a great song too Home by the Sea. Oh yeah, from the Genesis record. Every time I deliver to a nursing home that song is in my head. It's about ghosts, it's about old people. It's pretty freaking funny.
Speaker 1:It's about delivering wine to the old people, oh God.
Speaker 4:And then you're walking down the aisle and they're just farting in front of you freely.
Speaker 3:That's what I do. That's the wind.
Speaker 4:You're like oh.
Speaker 3:All right, genesis put out an album after Phil. Collins left with Steve Wilson and that's got one of my favorite Genesis songs called Shipwreck. It's a great ballad.
Speaker 4:What's the guy's name? Tony, something? Steve Wilson.
Speaker 3:Ray Wilson. Ray Wilson, Poor guy Wait.
Speaker 4:Ray Walston from my Favorite Martian there you go, mr Hahn.
Speaker 1:Hold it down for a second. It's all yours, guys. Hold on.
Speaker 4:He was also. He played in the Stand, the first movie. He was Bateman the professor.
Speaker 3:I can't remember the first one, when it came out.
Speaker 4:I loved it.
Speaker 3:I love that they used Don't Fear the Reaper. And. I remember watching it, but I think it was too like I didn't have time to watch all the parts. I think it was like three parts, right, it was really long.
Speaker 4:It was like 10 hours or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I gotta track that down on DVD.
Speaker 4:It's better than the remake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 4:I've heard Although it's kind of disappointing. In some ways it's much better than the remake. Remakes suck yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm not even gonna watch it then all right, who's up screw it uh, lou, I think, well, I just did it um al stewart, you're the cat the year of the cat.
Speaker 1:I love the whole story behind that. I've told that a couple times with that.
Speaker 4:There's some stories on that. He did a lot of storytelling.
Speaker 1:A lot of his song writing is storytelling oh, by the way, my non-profit one man, one mic, healing through storytelling. I'm one step away from being a 501c3 nonprofit.
Speaker 5:Nice One step away.
Speaker 1:I got approved by the state Small hurdle Awesome, the state of Florida. So now it's just the IRS giving me the designation and I'll be asking you guys for money. But anyway.
Speaker 3:So you're going to pay us Every week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know there's 80 episodes. You guys have been on that. Uh, you haven't. It's time to fucking pay up.
Speaker 2:I'm only kidding, I'm only kidding you will speak to my agent.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it carries more weight than me.
Speaker 3:I have representation everybody hurts frequency.
Speaker 4:Everybody's loose what's the frequency?
Speaker 1:schmitty, uh, patty says well, thank you, congrats, scott. Thank you very much. Yes, it's quite an undertaking, but I'm doing it. The undertaker, uh, that's what you dress like. Really, I guess it's me. Let's see, let's see, let's see. So this album, it's a good album. It's a good album, not a great album, but it's a classic 70s album. Steve Miller Fly Like an Eagle yeah, yeah Right, big radio song. A lot of them, yeah, big radio song. Fly Like them. Yeah, big radio song. Fly like an eagle. That nice opening riff, it's one of those. Oh, you know, you know it as soon as you hear it then, ah, you got, uh, the space, and it's an instrumental leaning up to it, right, like that space yes, right, electro luxemburglio.
Speaker 4:No, no, that's on the second record.
Speaker 1:He's got. Take the Money and Run is on that album. Rockin' Me, you Send Me. These are the ones that I highlighted. I listened to the whole albums but those are the songs that stick out, you know. But yeah, it was a good album for the 70s.
Speaker 4:It's a true 70s album his intention was to do something really simple. Um, it's, you know, it's pretty much a three-piece band guitar, bass, drums, and that's pretty much it yeah but I saw him back up journey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he was good, he was good he had uh, he has. You know, he has more hits than people think. He played abracadabra.
Speaker 3:He's one of those guys that if you see him live he didn't write that though. He did.
Speaker 4:Gary Malibur, the drummer, wrote it. Oh.
Speaker 1:He didn't put a lot of fucking thought into it. I can tell you that.
Speaker 4:That's the beauty of the stupid hit. That song's almost novelty in a way.
Speaker 2:With those stupid sound effects.
Speaker 4:I mean, that's the guitar. Yeah, you know it's funny. When steve miller did um, fly like an eagle, he said pretty much anything you could say with rock and roll. As far as guitar has has been said already, he made that statement. Then he started doing, he did that record, but then and even hailing came along, yeah, yeah, we got, we got vinyl scratching. We got needle scratch going on in the music. I thought there was rain coming in my room what's going?
Speaker 4:on it sounds like it sounds you're playing it's a zombie on to music. It's got I got needle scratch going to do jobs yeah is that supposed to have?
Speaker 1:let me see something. Uh, there we got something like that right try this over here. No, not that one. Uh, here we go. Oh, let me try this over here. No, not that one. Here we go.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 3:Ouch, oh, that hurts. Don't do that.
Speaker 2:That's a record being ruined. Well, that's sad.
Speaker 1:Aw Having fun. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3:Thank you. Thank you. I just had just a little break in the action. All right back to the show having fun, because there's a tv out behind you?
Speaker 1:oh fuck, that shit drives me crazy it's driving me crazy yeah, and before I I came in like I waited to the last minute. That you guys know it.
Speaker 3:I was like fuck, it's doing it again. I thought you had no power or something you know.
Speaker 1:Nah, it's a roku thing it's an, except spider-man's head, so whatever and yours I do this, all right. Uh, who's up me?
Speaker 3:um it. I you're gonna, you're gonna crucify me for saying this. It never was a big album to me, but Rocks from Aerosmith I got to listen to it again.
Speaker 4:It's always a big album where I'm from.
Speaker 3:It never hit me as big as the one before it or other albums. Last Child is a big fucking.
Speaker 1:That was the jam of that album, but if you listen to it it's a fucking hard-hitting album. It it's a fucking hard hitting. I'm gonna list album it's very, and it's consistent, just like their first out, three albums before that or two albums before that, three, right, yeah, so you had dream on, then you had uh, get your wings.
Speaker 3:Then you had toys in the attic, then you had rocks right yeah, as consistent as you can get, like before your wings might be my favorite of their seven. I love get your wings. It's dirty.
Speaker 1:I just love the whole feel of that that whole and train kept. The rolling was and I wore the grooves out of featuring dream on. But yeah, um, they just matured. It was a more mature album and then toys in the attic was more much like. They just kept growing and getting songwriting. Yeah, yeah yeah and uh yeah, but rocks is, and that's why I said why is joe perry never considered in the greatest guitarist conversation?
Speaker 3:I agree. I think some of his plans listen to those songs.
Speaker 1:I mean, he's a hard-hitting consistent. Yeah, I hear that fucking scratch do you think that kind of?
Speaker 4:he went away as a notable guitar player when they went to the modern age no, I think he still went through.
Speaker 3:His guitar playing still came through. That's the one saving grace.
Speaker 1:When they did all the commercial stuff, he was still out there playing the good riffs, yeah yeah, I just think he just, he's just one of those guys they think he's, he's gets that middle of the road treat, middle of the road great guitarist. You know rock in the rock world, um, just doesn't get any recognition. Yeah you never hear him talked about, but aril smith is one of the biggest bands in history right.
Speaker 4:How was he considered back in their heyday?
Speaker 1:I mean he was considered a, he was a.
Speaker 4:I mean everyone knew who he was when I he considered an original, or was he like? I was hearing stonky comparisons to him.
Speaker 3:I heard that too, that they were compared. There's no comparison. It's only because you have a singer and a recognizable guitar player that fought and they wrote songs together, just like Jagger and Richards.
Speaker 4:And they did a lot of drugs, didn't they have a twin's name, the Toxic Twins? The Toxic Twins.
Speaker 3:Did they coin that, or was that some?
Speaker 5:writer. They did, oh, they did.
Speaker 1:Okay so.
Speaker 3:Glimmer Twins, toxic Twins, yeah Right, but it doesn't take away. They're nothing like the Stones, nothing at all.
Speaker 1:He had a front man that was dynamic and could jump around the stage and you know but Joe.
Speaker 4:Barry was cool.
Speaker 1:And they both had the same kind of haircut and there was, I mean you can see the comparisons, there's nobody cooler than Joe Barry.
Speaker 3:I might even think that his stage presence beats Keith Richards.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:Cool guitar player. I'm going to tell you the what's the? The coolest, the fucking coolest video, coolest guitar player Fucking one of the coolest songs. I saw this again the other day and I just looked at this motherfucker I said there's arrogance there, there's cockiness, there's a fucking strut, there's attitude. It's in his face, it's in the way he carries himself, it's in the way he plays his guitar. No, go.
Speaker 1:Nope, link Ray, oh yeah, when he plays Rumble, yes, yes, he fucking walks around that stage like a fucking king and he's got this look on his face like yeah, I'm fucking Link Wray, yeah, watch the video I've seen it. And he has this strut. I'm like how is this guy not up in the upper echelons Not the biggest, but he should have been in the top third?
Speaker 3:Because when he was doing that music, at that time he was an outcast. He was almost like a punk.
Speaker 2:He influenced.
Speaker 4:Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 1:He was gangsta, that motherfucker.
Speaker 4:He was inspiring rumbles between gangs.
Speaker 1:And that's why there was a problem with the song right, Because they thought it was inciting violence.
Speaker 4:Is he considered a virtuoso or is he kind of like Bo Diddley, where they have a sound and they have recognizable songs?
Speaker 3:He definitely wasn't a well-versed like could do anything. He wasn't like that at all, but he did what he did.
Speaker 4:He had a great sound.
Speaker 3:Yeah, when I was like 10 years old we used to get the UHF channels and they would always show music shows from England on UHF. That's how I discovered ACDC. They had them on some show. I saw Link Wray and he looked older then it was in the 70s, but he still had the leather jacket and he was one mean-looking guy jacket and he was one mean looking guy. Do jimmy page right there in the movie.
Speaker 1:Watch the video. Just fucking struts around the stage like it's so fucking cool you know, uh, it's link ray and his men.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a fucking alpha dog right there, buddy absolute boss, one of the uh original native american uh rockers yeah, yeah oh that's right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that yep, yeah, when they had the um, the rock and roll hall of fame inductions, I think it's now. It's a couple years ago my son-in-law was in brooklyn for it. All of a sudden, jimmy pay. He didn't know he was going to be there. He comes out on stage playing that song because he inducted link ray um, but I saw a video of it. It's, it's gloriously horrible. You know, he can't even play it. He has a million mistakes. Oh really, yeah, he. But he came out. He's like he's sitting up there. He goes is that jimmy page? He sees the double neck and he goes holy shit, it's jimmy page. You know, play down the double neck, go figure yeah, I just posted the video.
Speaker 1:It's cool, I can do it. It's man, so where were we?
Speaker 3:Where were we? I did mine last.
Speaker 1:All right, you know what? Let's jump in. We're at an hour, let's move on to you. Make the call. You make the call. All right, you got the power. Here we go, lou, is that?
Speaker 5:stuck in your head now.
Speaker 1:Yes, it is by Snap Yep, and the rapper's name is Turbo. He's a German dude, german black dude. Yeah, turbo, all right.
Speaker 2:Mark, you start off.
Speaker 1:You make the call. Okay, jailhouse Rock or Mack the Knife.
Speaker 3:I'm going with Jailhouse Rock because Mack the Knife doesn't have the menacing that Mack the Knife has. Mack the Knife's like a Broadway play, where Jailhouse Rock is more like an off-Broadway play, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Alright, yeah.
Speaker 4:Lou Mack the Knife. I gotta go with.
Speaker 1:Mack the Knife. Go to a mack the night.
Speaker 4:It's just a fucking cool song if it was, if it was little sister versus mack the knife, I might have gone with elvis ah okay, I mean, jailhouse rock's heavy, it's hard hitting, you know that type is a story man, but back the knife is just like.
Speaker 1:and then he ends it with look out, old Mac is back, who sang it Bobby. Darin.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bobby Darin, I have trouble saying Bobby Darin's tough.
Speaker 1:Well, he's not. Elvis wasn't tough either. Yeah, you're right, although he practiced karate.
Speaker 3:But who did he ever fight Elvis in the?
Speaker 1:70s was tough. Anybody can practice karate, but who are you fighting?
Speaker 4:He fought Bruce Lee, didn't he?
Speaker 3:That was the guy in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Speaker 1:Brad Pitt's character. That's a great scene.
Speaker 4:That was great.
Speaker 1:All right, mark, you make the call. Okay, whole lot of love. I like these choices that I put. I kind of just really did them. Usually I try to find two songs that are kind of similar and so but these I'm like I'm going with this one a whole lot of love or satisfaction.
Speaker 3:Oh, you fucking asshole, you know what a whole lot of love or I can't get no satisfaction I love them both, but I'm gonna have to go with Whole Lotta Love. It's a masterpiece and it's so With the orgasm in the middle. It was so against everything. Play it now, pull into a laundromat or when I ran the laundromat and play it over the PA for people doing their wash.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 4:Oh, look at the speakers you know, yeah, yeah, whole Lotta Love Lou. When I first started playing drums, I could do that cymbal part and a whole lot of love, and then I'd lose it because that wasn't good enough.
Speaker 2:So I would say a whole lot of love.
Speaker 4:I think it's a masterpiece, it's a construction.
Speaker 1:Both songs have epic epic openings. Yeah.
Speaker 4:It's one of the greatest riffs Both of them have some of the greatest opening r, both of them.
Speaker 1:Both of them have some of the greatest opening riffs to us in the history of music. Right, there's no. You hear one note and you know exactly which song is which.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think the stones is a better riff right. I think a whole lot of love is just. Like mark said, it's just, it's a.
Speaker 1:I'm going to lean toward Whole Lotta Love because, as I said this a few months back, I re-fell in love with that song again. Same here. I re-appreciated it after years and years of just discarding it because I heard it so much I didn't really pay it much attention. But that one moment when you're driving in your car or you're sitting at home or you got the headphones on and this song comes on and you're like what the? That's a fucking good song. Like what have I not been hearing again for the last 25 years? Because that's well, I'm 60, so 25 years ago.
Speaker 3:For years I couldn't stand Smoke on the Water. It came on the radio. I turned it off. Then I saw the Sopranos episode where Tony has his panic attack.
Speaker 1:But right before he has it, he's playing Smoke on the Water, he's banging his head and he has a panic attack and I said, oh, I forgot how good that song is that's like a syndrome, right, you hear a song on a TV show or in a movie and all of a sudden you put a visual to it like a very cool scene in a cool movie or a cool show and you're like, hey, and it's an awakening.
Speaker 3:It's like an awakening to the song again. Living on a thin line in Sopranos Layla I couldn't listen to Layla when it was in Goodfellas I fell in love with it.
Speaker 4:How about Sister Golden Hair in the Supremacist?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah, that's right, that's right, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1:Mark, you make the call In the air tonight or don't stop believing.
Speaker 5:In the air tonight.
Speaker 3:Sopranos does a winner for me this time I'm going to go with in the air tonight because those lyrics are great and Mike Tyson punched someone out to that song.
Speaker 4:Wow, I love a good drum riff. Yeah, steve, someone said that's one of the most recognizable 10 notes in any song and that's from the drums.
Speaker 1:That is highly unusual, so the movie came out, the Secret Policemen's on the ball right, yeah, sting was in it, phil Collins was in it, they had I don't know there was some other big names that were in it and sing sting sang message in a bottle with just the, the guitar, electric guitar, not acoustic, but electric acoustic type thing. Right, and then they did the phil collins did in the air tonight, and brilliantly and you know what I'm talking about brilliantly. When he gets to that point he just stops because he's at the piano and in your head everybody to a person goes boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And then he hits the note boom, fucking perfectly Like he knew what we were thinking Like. Whoever knew that that was just ingrained in everybody's brain was a fucking genius to figure that out, that that, like you said, luke, those 10 notes are that like powerful.
Speaker 4:Yeah, well, I think when he was writing the song. You know he wrote the song with the drums in mind because you know that's the first song any I think most of us ever heard, unless you heard the peter gabriel album that came out before that, where they did that gated drum sound, but phil phil was the drummer on it. Um, just when those drums came in, the sound alone was like what the fuck was that? What is that?
Speaker 4:yeah, you know heavy metal yeah yeah, it was just such a well percussive, obviously. But yeah, that's the patient behind that, so you know when people think, when they're starting out, you realize he's dropping bass drum notes in there. It's like triplets. But uh, you know, so it's even. That's more complicated than it appears to be let me see here, here we go. But even after the drums throughout the song, for the rest of that he's playing that beat and those fills are just epic.
Speaker 3:Oh, the live version. He's got to play the live version. Oh, it's the Secret Policeman's Ball. Okay, I haven't heard this in so long. Makes the lyrics more poignant, what year was this this?
Speaker 1:he did this in 85. He did this version at the Live Aid show. But Secret. Policeman's on the Ball. I think came out like 80.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was a long time ago 81 maybe.
Speaker 1:And so he read he, you know, does it again for live aid. So let's see, now was that when?
Speaker 3:you flew to philadelphia, or was that back in england? Now, was that when you flew to Philadelphia, or was that back in England? That was England, I think England. He just did the piano, yeah.
Speaker 1:Him and Sting. It's coming up on this, right, yeah, it is so we don't get again we can talk over it.
Speaker 4:If you talk, it can be considered for educational purpose.
Speaker 1:For educational purpose. So I wonder if he wore a suit like Lou Well. But if you listen to what he does, right, but in the movie the secret policemen's on the ball. It was totally unexpected. Yeah yeah, that was like an amazing I. It was just like fucking brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 3:Scott there's. That is an amazing thing that him as a drummer can play that and have that running in his mind. There's another drummer that is that amazing and it's Lou. Lou recorded a couple couple demos where he played the drums first, before any of the other instruments. He was able to track his drum part. You don't hear about that. And then he added his guitars later.
Speaker 4:I would never do it again, but the fact that you can do that, I would never, do that again. That was a hard way to record.
Speaker 3:Your drums were steady.
Speaker 4:I played the drums. I sang in my head, right like I get the arrangement down. There you go, no this is this involved footage of phil collins when he's singing at the mic. But he gets up to the drums in time and he does the big fill and then finishes the rest of the song behind I loved in genesis when he would go back and forth between.
Speaker 1:That was genesis yeah, all right, did we? Did we all set in the air?
Speaker 4:Yeah, what was the other?
Speaker 1:song Don't Stop Believing. Yeah, all right. All right, mark, you make the call. Yeah, earth, wind, fire, september or Queen, somebody to Love?
Speaker 3:So September is one of those, do you?
Speaker 2:remember.
Speaker 3:It's one of those earworm songs and even though it was a big hit, it should be. I mean, it's a good song, but come on, somebody to love. Is Freddie crying out? He needed love. Somebody to love. I'm going with Queen. I said there's no wrong answers. Yeah, I know, but I saw Scott's patented oh Lord.
Speaker 1:Nah, that was a great song. You know what I have to say to that, Mark. You know what I have to say to that?
Speaker 2:Shut up no no, I say this.
Speaker 3:I hear a crappy phone.
Speaker 2:We're live and everything's fucking up.
Speaker 3:This is why we can't go live. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's all I hear. That's rough. I'm not allowed to express my, my heartfelt sentiment on this show.
Speaker 1:September or somebody to love, september I gotta go with september too.
Speaker 4:That's one of my son's favorite songs.
Speaker 1:September or Somebody to Love, september.
Speaker 4:I got to go with September too. It's one of my son's favorite songs too.
Speaker 1:Only because of Mark's explanation on Somebody to Love. That just drove me in the other direction Poor Freddie. Poor Freddie, all right, dave Phillips, king of the 45s in the house, all right, hey, dave. All right, mark, you make the call. I won't be sappy on this one. Jackson 5, I Want you Back. Or George Harrison, I Got my Mind Set On you, ah you love George, but I want Jackson's.
Speaker 3:That song is to me a much better pop song. Call into Jackson's.
Speaker 4:Lou, if not just for the bass, playing Jackson's.
Speaker 1:There you go who was that?
Speaker 4:was that tito? Uh, might have been james jamerson.
Speaker 1:I don't think that was tito which one played the good they had. Tito played the guitar, jermaine played the bass. Right. They always were holding to. There was always a guitar player on the stage right marlin at the beginning yeah, maybe it was marlin. Yeah, uh, yeah, I gotta I to go with. I Want you Back, right, is that what you said, lou, yeah, yeah, great song. All right, mark, here you go. You make the call Like a Rolling Stone, which?
Speaker 3:version, the only version, bob Dylan, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the only version Jimmy's is good or Fortunate Son.
Speaker 3:Ooh, or Fortunate Son. Alright, shoot me, I'm going to go with Fortunate Son. I think it's a concise, angry pop song, but like you said, there's no wrong answer.
Speaker 4:Yes, there is, and this one is a wrong answer.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, mark okay, sorry, mark, you know what that means. Yes, there is, and this one is the wrong answer.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, Mark.
Speaker 1:Okay, sorry, mark, you know what that means Penalty box. Well, it's been a while. He pointed the finger gun at you so I had to save you. Thank you, I had to put you in the penalty box.
Speaker 4:As always, it's for his own good. What happened to Caesaresar with the dumb?
Speaker 3:I was shooting you, no no, no I don't want to say anything can I have joaquin phoenix doing the uh?
Speaker 1:my uh lou. What's, what's your choice? What songs? Again, like a rolling stone like a rolling stone.
Speaker 4:Like a rolling stone dylan. Yeah, not a bob dylan fan.
Speaker 1:But I, I gotta go with like a rolling stone, like a Rolling. Stone Dylan yeah, not a Bob Dylan fan, but I gotta go with, like a Rolling Stone. They're both great songs. There's no wrong answer here. I feel guilty now Like a Rolling Stone. That's a great song. Fortunate Son gets a little yelly and screamy, I can only listen to that. So much you know. But like a Rolling Stone is just one of those smooth moving songs where you're driving. It's like it's an all mood song, right it's an all mood song.
Speaker 4:It was groundbreaking too. That was Dylan saying fuck you to the folkies, the old guard saying I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1:That's right alright, mark, you make the folkies the old guard, yeah, saying I'm going to do what I'm going to do. That's right. All right, mark, you make the call.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ain't no mountain high enough, or purple rain, oh, purple rain, purple rain To this day. I get goosebumps when I hear it. I can't.
Speaker 2:Fuck you Lou.
Speaker 3:I could say fuck you. To a man in a suit he gave you the.
Speaker 1:You wanted the thumbs down. You got the. You wanted him to do it mark.
Speaker 4:He did it you're empowering me mark's in the penalty box right now because, well, he wanted liberal reigns and lou didn't agree, so he gave him the thumbs down.
Speaker 5:So now Mark's in the penalty box.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, I'm just you know. I'm just you know.
Speaker 3:keep the show steady, harsh judge Scratching your face, lou, I'm scratching your face. I'm sorry, mark, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4:Purple Rain's a great song. It's a great song.
Speaker 3:It's a great because Purple Rain, to me, was an anthem in the 80s. Yeah, well, hell yeah, well, they're both anthems in a way.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they are Lou, is it Marvin?
Speaker 1:It's the version. Yeah, there's no other version.
Speaker 4:I think that is the best Motown song of all time.
Speaker 1:I love Purple Rain. Mark, Like you said, there's no wrong answer. It's your playlist. They're both fucking giant songs. Giant, but the beginning of ain't no mountain high enough, yeah yeah all that percussion and they start ain't nobody and it's just a big builder.
Speaker 2:Purple.
Speaker 1:Rain has the same buildup to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it does it really does. I have to say I like a Purple Rain better than a November Rain.
Speaker 1:for sure I wouldn't put those two in the same. I know Some of these, I already know the winner.
Speaker 4:But these are tough. Do you know who wrote that?
Speaker 1:Ain't no Mountain High Enough.
Speaker 4:Yep no Ash Enough. Yep no Ashford and Simpson.
Speaker 2:Wow, back then. Yeah, yeah, how far back do they go.
Speaker 4:They must go back further than that. I think, yeah, they do they go back.
Speaker 1:They were old in the 80s. They were older in the 80s.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, they were, weren't they.
Speaker 1:But I remember what was their 70s disco yeah, ain't, no, so was ain't no stopping us now ain't no stopping us now. That was uh. Was that that was? Was that asher? That wasn't asher and simpson, that was the uh, wasn't that the brothers johnson? No, they did stop.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't the brothers johnson, though I thought it was stopping us. Now I think that maybe that was asher that's what I first heard in there, shouldn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3:So they did Solid, solid.
Speaker 4:Solid as a rock. Is it still good to you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1:All right, Mark, you make the call. This is not my favorite two songs of choice, but I'm trying to be very inclusive.
Speaker 3:That's good, because this beta male likes it.
Speaker 1:It's not good. I do it for you only because you're my friend.
Speaker 2:You're my sacrifice. My values oh here we go, all right, stop stop stop, here we go, it's music there's no value to music, let's just move on.
Speaker 1:I'm only kidding, Mark. You make the call Eye of the Tiger or Living on a Prayer. Both fucking horrible songs to me.
Speaker 4:It's the worst of two evils, because you can't stand.
Speaker 3:I can't stand that. They're from New Jersey. I'm just going to go with Eye of the Tiger. I can't stand that they're from new jersey. I'm just gonna go with eye of the tiger I can't stand bondo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have a tiger it's so pathetic, hey, I I hate that song. I hate that. Who's all you know. I'm behind a movie and and he's got the fucking beret on, like with the French beret, and they're trying to walk and that video is a fucking mess. By the way, if you watch Eye of the Tiger, try to figure that fucking it's a little. Let's just say it's a little not heterosexual at moments, in that it's very weird.
Speaker 3:I don't know, it's a little strange. There's anything wrong with that. It's like I don't know it's a little strange. They are Canadian, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 1:It's like I don't know, it's a little strange, but I don't like Eye of the Tiger, but I like it better than Living on a Prayer, because Bon Jovi can suck ass.
Speaker 4:Plus he's got that vocoder thing on Living on a Prayer that thing, peter Frampton thing right. I'm living like a prick that thing, peter Frampton thing right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is that?
Speaker 4:Richie Zambuca doing that, richie Zambuca.
Speaker 3:By the way, New Med Bon Jovi has set a record it's like the poorest selling album from an established artist.
Speaker 4:It dropped. It sold well for a day and just disappeared.
Speaker 1:And that tells you everything. Because word of mouth says don't buy it.
Speaker 4:That's what that is. The reviews are trying to say, hey, it's a band backing something. Yeah, well, don't listen to reviews.
Speaker 1:That's like going to rotten tomato and exactly look at rotten tomato if you see a high critic score, it'll be a low viewer score. Yeah, and they're never. Very rarely are they in the same. You know ballpark Right Very rarely. They put Captain Marvel at number five of the best Always listen to the viewers and this is their cop-out is review bombing? Nobody is that like. Maybe there's 10,000 people that are like that out of the millions that fucking go on that website, you know.
Speaker 3:I got something better for you. If you're going to go see a movie and you want to know what it's like, call Tom Spallone. If he says it sucks, it's going to be great.
Speaker 4:If he says it's really good, you're going to fall asleep.
Speaker 3:I have not liked a movie that he's liked in 20 years, and movies he hates.
Speaker 1:I love so all right, tom's number is five, seven, no, I can't do that e-o-f-u-c-k-y-o-u-r. Uh, okay, here we go. This is a tough one. Right here, I think this is a tough one. Mark you make the call. Yeah, whiter shade of pale, or let's stay together.
Speaker 3:The classical on me will say White or Shaded Pale.
Speaker 1:Al Green the Reverend yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm going with that Tough one, but I think I'm confident. White or.
Speaker 1:Shaded.
Speaker 2:Pale. No wrong answer, sammy.
Speaker 3:Hagar and Neil Sean did a great version of it too. Okay, lou, I'd argue with Reverend Al Green no wrong answer, no wrong answer. Sammy hagar and elshon did a great version of it too okay uh lou, I'd argue with reverend al green.
Speaker 4:It's also one of my favorite songs I, yeah, I don't I always love them both, this one.
Speaker 1:This was a hard for me to put this one together. What a shit it's a great song they're both fantastic songs, I mean classic. I mean, but they're just. I mean let's Stay Together is just listen. It was in Pulp Fiction.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, sublime.
Speaker 1:There you go.
Speaker 3:Sublime percussion track on it the way it goes.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah and I like the recording. It's so dry.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's a real low meaty. That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 4:yeah, the it's a real low meaty, that's a good way to put it. Yeah, the drums are real dry. I don't hear any reverb that.
Speaker 3:I can tell, have a lot of beat. No pun intended.
Speaker 1:Very oomph, yeah, all right. Last but not least, this is a kind of unique choice. Right here, mark, you make the call Pretty Woman, the Pretty Woman, Roy Orbison's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, not Van Halen. Come on, pretty Woman, the Pretty.
Speaker 1:Woman.
Speaker 3:Roy Orbison's, not Van Halen, come on.
Speaker 1:Pretty Woman or Hit the Road Jack. Hit the Road Jack, don't you come back. No more, no more, no more.
Speaker 3:I'm going with Pretty Woman, even though I'm a little tired of it.
Speaker 2:Don't you come back, no, more.
Speaker 1:no, no, no, no, no, I'm going with Roy.
Speaker 4:All right, lou, this is the hardest one for me For sentiment, pretty Woman, although that's tough, I love Hit the Road Jack.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know, watch your side.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go with Hit the Road Jack because Van Halen ruined Pretty Woman for me.
Speaker 4:They really did. You didn't like the version. I didn't like it at all.
Speaker 1:I didn't like it at all. I loved it. Yeah, Dave Phillips, King of the 45s, says the Wilbury for the win.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But who fucking asked you? Dave Phillips King of the 45s.
Speaker 3:Well, he puts good music on Facebook, Scott.
Speaker 1:Oh, I always check it out, I always yeah.
Speaker 4:His dog, tony, his dog puts the music on there.
Speaker 1:Get it right. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, he has great taste. His dog has great taste. All right, let's move on to some movies from 76. There's a lot of good ones.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there were.
Speaker 1:We're almost at an hour and a half so we might continue these movies, because this is a lot of good movies from 76. Yeah, there's a lot. Yeah, I'm going to start off with Carrie right off the bat. Yeah, carrie was a I mean talk about a. So one of the best jump scares ever, at the end, right when. What's her name? What was her name? Amy Irving.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:She's having the dream and she goes to the house because the house sunk, and she walks over to it's. The ground is there and she's kneeling and it's all this really nice music and it's soft and the fucking arm comes up out of the ground and grabs her yeah.
Speaker 1:Fucking jumps in it, but it doesn't. It does it in the kind of slow fast motion, right the way they filmed it or the way they edited it. It's not like the quick jump, it's like, you see, you jump, you're like, ah, gives you that double pump, like oh, oh yeah, and then it grabs it. But it's just, it was just a, a very unique movie for its time. It was uh and it was, it was you know the whole thing was what's that?
Speaker 4:was that it was considered in the horror genre, wasn't it? Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Piper Laurie was fucking lunatic and it was ahead of a time in which they depicted the mother as this ultra crazy religious. Yeah, there weren't many movies doing that back then. No, and they go through the whole thing. She has a menstrual cycle and they kind of. That became like a thing and they go through the whole thing. She has a menstrual cycle and that became like a thing. And so I know for a fact that had to be one of those things that girls back then looked at and went oh my God.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I never talked to, I never mentioned it to anybody. I was like you know, like I never said so what did you think? But you know, like the girls must be like, oh, I fucking know what that feels like. You know like, oh shit, yeah, but Carrie was just a great movie. John Travolta was a good bad guy.
Speaker 3:Was that his first movie before? Welcome Back, Cotter.
Speaker 1:I think it was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was before the boy in the plastic bubble.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, let's go clockwise, I guess.
Speaker 4:Did you guys see the remake of Carrie? That was a.
Speaker 3:Seinfeld movie this boy in the plastic bubble.
Speaker 4:Yeah, did you see the remake?
Speaker 1:No, no, I won't. Why would I?
Speaker 3:I won't see the remake of Carrie either.
Speaker 1:see the remake of Carrie, either I refused.
Speaker 3:That's what he said, oh I thought you meant Boy in a Plastic Bucket.
Speaker 1:Oh Jesus, lou give us a movie from 76.
Speaker 4:Marathon man, is it?
Speaker 1:safe.
Speaker 4:Is it safe? Is it safe?
Speaker 1:Is it safe?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah yeah, it's so safe, is it safe? And then he switches it up and he goes no, no, it's so safe, is it safe?
Speaker 1:and then he switches it up on, he goes no, no it's not safe.
Speaker 2:It's not safe at all, is it?
Speaker 1:safe, like that whole scene. Roy schneider, roy scheider was in a lot of movies in the 70s. That was a good run for him. That was right after jaws. He went on a great run. Yeah, and he's a good actor. Like he's that character, right, he looks the same in every movie. Yeah, right, just like the kevin costa syndrome he's the same fucking guy in every movie, but he pulls it off.
Speaker 4:He's one of those rare actors that could pull off that yeah, and kind of the same kind of personality, the kind of leading man way, but not like john wayne or anything like that.
Speaker 1:Right right, not a big leading man, but you know he did varied roles. It was seven ups, the seven ups a good movie. I might actually watch that again.
Speaker 4:Was he in the? He did 2010. He did the sequel to 2001.
Speaker 1:Right, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, was he in Hot Rocks? Also Hot Rock, I don't know. Did you see the Hot Rock? Oh God, with Robert Redford Forever ago, right Fucking.
Speaker 2:Fucking great movie.
Speaker 1:These are movies you got to go back and watch the Hot Rock Seven Ups Thunderbolt and Lightfoot Thunderbolt and Lightfoot Vanishing Point.
Speaker 4:You know they have a lot of Jack Nicholson movies now on Max. I think it almost looks like a tribute. Right Five Easy Pieces. The Last Detail Chinatown. Wow, is he sick or something? He's really old, but he's faded, he's totally faded from view.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:He retired from acting, I think after the Departed Right.
Speaker 1:All right, Luke, give us a movie.
Speaker 4:I didn't.
Speaker 1:Oh, you did. That's right. That's right, mark.
Speaker 3:I am not a runner. Logan's Run.
Speaker 1:That hit me.
Speaker 3:All right. So I used to think that my first big science fiction movie was Star Wars. But I remember I was young and seven years old and I saw that and I was taken by the dystopian society. They're in a city.
Speaker 1:And then they escape to the outside. That was you right, Michael York.
Speaker 4:Richard Jordan. Jenny Agutter, I'm saying it right. She just took her top off a lot.
Speaker 3:Great movie. I bought the comic book series and I have it in a storage facility up in Kingston. I got to dig them out because they're probably worth something. I read all the comics and I couldn't get enough of the movie, so I used to like reenact that scene I'm not a runner and I'd like act like I was fighting in the living room. I'm not a runner. I'm not a runner. One day I'm doing it and I turn around. My dad's standing there and he's like. You know, some of us would like to take our naps, because my dad took a nap every Sunday afternoon. I got thanked for that one. But I heard they're going to remake it and I'm really pissed. Stop, just stop, don't remake it, because they're going to make it overly violent.
Speaker 3:It was violent for its time.
Speaker 4:Remember the TV series. No, they did a short-lived TV series, not a like Planet of the Apes, where I didn't go very long.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Right, it's probably too expensive to make.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my brother, they're all the way from the Philippines. Andy Ordinero. He says, yeah, rocky. Rocky came out in 76.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, Yep.
Speaker 1:Yep, it was the number two movie of 76, guess it has here, or is this? How? When it was released. Let me know. I'm not sure on my list, but yeah, rocky, and, and what? What can you say about rocky that hasn't like? The saying is that hasn't already been said, right?
Speaker 3:I always said rocky and rambo the first ones were good and then he kind of ruined the scene. I like rocky, three rocky.

Speaker 2:Faye Dunaway, one of the greatest beauties in the history of Hollywood.
Speaker 4:Absolute, my book.
Speaker 1:Married to Peter Wolfe, in the top ten beauties of all time in Hollywood I did a video. I created a video I thought were the top ten prettiest women in Hollywood. I'll send it to you guys. You can't argue with it. You can probably substitute some people, but and people did when I posted it. People were like what about her and her, and again it's my list. Anybody can create the list, but Faye Dunaway was definitely on that. I never thought Joan Crawford was that hot. No, I didn't either.
Speaker 4:You know who I think the prettiest To this day, I say.
Speaker 1:when I was a kid I had a fucking crush on her and I said she was the most beautiful woman ever in Hollywood Lauren Bacall. When she was young, absolutely Was a fucking hammer, yeah, holy shit, those eyes and that voice, and I mean she had the body. She. Lauren Bacall, to me, was the prettiest woman in her prime. Bogey knew what he was doing the history of Hollywood, absolutely he did. I wouldn't get to change places with that short motherfucker back in 47.
Speaker 4:Ever see pictures of young Shirley Winters.
Speaker 1:You know what yeah?
Speaker 4:She was cute. I just think of the Poseidon Adventure.
Speaker 3:You can't unsee the underwater.
Speaker 4:She died earlier in that movie. Oh, why couldn't she have landed in the Christmas tree? Son of a bitch.
Speaker 1:Give us a movie from 76.
Speaker 3:I don't know how you guys viewed this movie, but for me it was another one that I was a little kid I saw it in the theater, scared the fuck out of me. I don't know why, but King Kong, the image of King Kong in that, really scared the shit out of me. But it hit me hard and I love Jessicaica lang in it yeah yeah, it was a good movie.
Speaker 1:It was a decent remake, yeah, um I love.
Speaker 3:I think that the new version that they did is is probably probably my debate. They really nailed it, but that was good and it will always stand up for itself as a good remake yeah, yeah, lou he calls you a little piece of chicken.
Speaker 4:What movie was that taxi driver? That's right, that's right yeah, a little piece of chicken now. That's a movie I'm revisiting soon because that's uh, one of those streaming channels is playing it again. It's been it's been a while since I've seen it.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's a, that was heavy yeah, are you gonna watch hillbilly elegy? I think I've seen it. It's a good movie. I, I think don't put the political thing into it.
Speaker 4:I saw it a while ago. I didn't think it was a great movie, though it's it's a good movie, it's not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not a dynamic movie by any means, but it's a story. It's like one of those movies you just gotta want to watch a story you're gonna.
Speaker 4:You're gonna see a story. I live there. Okay, I don't need to see in appalachia. Oh, technically I'm in appalachia, yeah, oh shit um, but you're in modern day appalachia well, here's the deal. Like ashville, there's ashville, greenville's an hour away, south carolina, but if you go further out, I've gone further out and yeah, we had a egg and mayonnaise sandwich with you, lou, on white bread.
Speaker 4:Well, that that's can. Well, that's, that's civilized for the rural part. I mean, if you go for I've gone I got down a couple roads. A guy worked with his last name. There's a street up there where I used to live, named that thing, because that's named my whole family. So I drove to the end of one time. I can't back out of this whole gravel street road. I don't have to turn around somehow when I go in someone's resemblance of a driveway. But people came out of houses looking at me. I'm like oh oh, just visit. I got North Carolina plays, I'm just visiting.
Speaker 3:Well.
Speaker 4:I'll tell you what. So, scott, when someone says get your ass up in them woods, don't, you don't have to do it, you're not.
Speaker 3:Ned Beatty, don't worry about it, I'm not. I'm no Ned Beatty sir, when me and Perry went down to see Lou the first time, lou took us out to a, he said do you want to get breakfast? And we went to this place where we walk up. I got my long hair.
Speaker 3:Perry just oozes Jersey, we all ooze Jersey and everybody stared at us, but then I was like I said hi to somebody. Everybody was cool after that. I just remember that. The egg sandwich the only choice was white bread with mayonnaise. I ate it, it was good.
Speaker 1:I actually liked it. It was okay. Anything with mayo was good to me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, except a.
Speaker 4:Italian salad.
Speaker 3:French fries or hamburgers 2008.
Speaker 1:I'm in Front, royal, virginia, and I'm going through the K-9 Academy, us Customs K-9 Enforcement Center, going through the canine academy, us customs right canine enforcement center, and two of my buddies a bunch of us came up from miami and two of my buddies, one's a, his last name is rios and he's he's from chicago, but he's a mexican name, mexican descent. And the other kid, uh, the other guy's name is alvarez, he's cuban, from miami, right. So, uh, my buddy Alvarez wants to go look for a car and he really wants the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am, right, and he finds one in the Bargain Hunter, somewhere, you know whatever. And so this is 2008. So technology wasn't really. You had to call the guy, no instant messages.
Speaker 1:This is 2008, so technology wasn't really. You had to call the guy no instant message, exactly. So the guy says and so now they start driving into the hills of virginia right front royal is small town virginia, but when you start going a little deeper in they're almost near west virginia, I think, right. So, um, the guy says, when you get to the bottom of the road, call me from the store. And they're like okay, and they got the garment. I think you like, back then there was garment, was the big. Yeah, you know like, uh, uh, it was ways and it was google maps but it didn't.
Speaker 3:Did it work in rural areas?
Speaker 1:it did up until they get to that that gas station, and he calls the guy and the guy says see the see the road right behind the building, go up that road, just keep going up.
Speaker 1:And where I'm up there, so they're like okay, and they're kind of getting like okay, this is a little weird because the garmin goes blank yeah right, it goes blank on them, but they're following the road and they're seeing these fucking shacks on each side of them, and sparsely though, and they get up to this clearing and there's this house and there's two dudes on the porch, and so they both get out and they walk up and the two, two, you know two yahoos get off the porch and they walk down and like, are you here about the car? And my buddies are like, yeah, and he says, okay, let me show it to you. And my cuban friend notices that a couple more guys come out of the house and you're like this is a little weird, right, and uh, but okay, we're cool, everything's cool. And he shows them the car and the guy says to my friend Rios, who's kind of a bigger dude, he goes, are you the one buying this? Because if you are, I hope you ain't selling it to some Mexican.
Speaker 1:And at that point my buddy Alvarez goes because he looks latin. Rios looks like a white dude. Right, my buddy alvarez goes. Buddy, I'm just gonna go wait in the car. He goes and sits in the car and this guy starts talking about you know, yeah, these mexicans come up here and because virginia does have an influx of of south americans that that have migrated up there for work right, yeah and it became a thing and these dudes were like this was like fort apache, the bronx to them like
Speaker 1:yeah, you ain't fucking invading this p, this piece of the land, right? And so it got a little. My buddy's like it got a little fucking weird, right. And he's like, all right, he goes, so you're going to buy this thing or what. He goes, well, you know what, let me think about it and I'll get back to you. And he goes, okay, he goes, I'm going to go. I'm just going to go talk to my friend and we'll see he goes. I'm just going to go talk to my friend and we'll see. And he goes, yeah, okay, and they all stand around and my buddy gets in the car. He's like let's get the fuck out of here, just fucking go.
Speaker 3:Just go. How fast can they get down that road?
Speaker 1:They fucking bang a Yui and they just take off down that hill and I think they were laughing. The white boys were not fucking around because they know you're there. This is deliverance, man this is fucking deliverance.
Speaker 4:You're off the map.
Speaker 1:They didn't even see the car he did see the car and he liked it, but he was he's like I'm not for bad business with them.
Speaker 1:You know, that was like. I went and bought this record. It's a record holder and it's a vintage record and it has a it's. I looked it up it's I forget the name brand, but it's got this. Uh, it pulled the front, pulls down and that's where all your records go. Then you kind of fold it up and this was over in a it's in a kind of shady area here and, uh, up around where I live.
Speaker 1:So it's a sunday afternoon, it's in the summer, and I said, all right, I'm gonna drive over there, and I had my jeep and I drive over there and I just notice I'm in the fucking hood. Right, all right, I'm cool, though I'm cool white guy driving around in the hood in a brand new fucking jeep, wrangler, custom dragon edition, right, it's got the big dragon thing on the side. And so I see the house and I'm like, and I look across the street and and there's like six brothers there and they're just chilling, just hanging out on the porch, you know. And then you see they're drinking. It's saturday or sunday afternoon, whatever.
Speaker 1:And so, uh, this black guy comes out of the house. He's an older guy and he's like yeah, the uh, and he's got a fence around the yard. There's a dog in there and the dog doesn't like white people, evidently, right. So he says, yeah, yeah, it's in the house, come in the house. I'm like, oh, there, we go, right. So I go in the house. And I kind of realized at that point, when I got out of the Jeep and I looked across the street, that I'm wearing a Larry Bird jersey.
Speaker 5:Now, if there was ever.
Speaker 1:The consummate white boy jersey. Even in Do the Right Thing, john Savage is wearing a Larry. Bird jersey. Go back to.
Speaker 4:Brooklyn. Go back to Brooklyn. No, go back to Boston. Go back to Boston, fucking racist.
Speaker 1:And I got the Bird jersey on. I'm like, ah, here we go, the shaved head right, sunglasses, right, black sunglasses. So I go in the house and the dude's like, yeah, here it is right, here it's like $25. But I looked in the house and the dude's like, yeah, here it is right, here it's like 25 bucks. But I looked it up and the thing's expensive, right. So I said, all right, yeah, it looks good.
Speaker 1:And he says, uh, yeah, at uh 20. I take cash. And I said, well, he said, where are you from? He said I said, well, I'm from boston. Oh, what part? I said, well, I was originally from roxbury. And then, uh, we move. He goes, oh, I know that area, I know. And he starts trying to talk. He's talking to me about that. Then he says, yeah, $20. And so I take out some cash and I go to give it to him and he goes and the bird jersey stays here, oh wow. And he just stands there and looks at me and I looked at him. I go that ain't fucking happening. But I'm thinking in my head and I looked at him I go, that ain't fucking happening.
Speaker 1:But I'm thinking in my head this is a bad situation. I'm in his house, right, and all he has to do is yell out the door and I am fucked, right. And I looked at him and I said that ain't fucking happening. And we have this standoff for literally like 20 seconds. We just look at each other and then he goes. I'm only fucking with you.
Speaker 4:He wasn't though, but he wasn't.
Speaker 1:He thought he was going to scare the white boy.
Speaker 4:Like he thought I'm going to. I'm going to, you're going to walk out with a shirt.
Speaker 3:That's how you extricate yourself from that.
Speaker 1:You're like, oh, I can't scare him, so now I gotta get out of it well, that and that's what he was like, but I was thinking in my head this is a bad fucking scene right here.
Speaker 1:This, this could really turn left real fast and I, I just stared him down, I was like I've been in worse situations. And he just ah, I'm only kidding, come on man. I man, I'll say yeah. And in my head I'm like you weren't kidding. If I took that jersey off, he'd be like now you can go. Now he got me.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, right, oh, no, no, no no, no yeah. Do you think he would have worn the shirt if you had left it?
Speaker 1:Oh, of course he would have. Because, then, because? Then I took it off that white boy that came over.
Speaker 5:Yeah yeah, and I kept his $20.
Speaker 1:And I kept his $20. And I got this Mitchell Ness fucking $170 Larry Bird jersey. You know Like what the vintage I'm like, oh so, needless to say, it doesn't matter if you go there in the daytime or the nighttime, those are always shady it. Those are always shady those situations are always shady.
Speaker 3:You did mention and I'm not going to tell a story because I have too many to tell, but you mentioned fort apache, fort apache the bronx yeah I started going down to that neighborhood in that area to see my wife when we were going out, and back then I was wearing leather pants. I was a heavy metal guy, I had my bu Buick Skylark, yellow Buick Skylark. My brother had a yellow Buick Skylark and, no, a lot of things happened, but I never had anything happen to me, but it was yeah, oh yeah, this was.
Speaker 1:I was in his house, in his territory. Well, the cops would.
Speaker 3:Every so often they would do the walking patrol and a cop would come up to me and look at me and say what are you doing here? And I'd say I'm coming to pick up my girlfriend. And when he looked at me, I guess he saw my eyes and said all right, because why would a white guy be down there? You're buying drugs, buying drugs yeah. No, and then I'd be like I told it with all honesty. And then one time I had a zebra thing in the car and he goes goes I'm a long island zebra.
Speaker 3:They're great, you know.
Speaker 1:So I was like yeah but I yeah, it's like I could tell stories, but not on the show. There you go. Uh, perry denovich, the ai about I don't know. 10 minutes ago he commented perry oozes america mark, not just new jersey he oozes a few things apparently oh, oh, oh, oh you know we're gonna pick up movies again next week, we, why not? Right there's a lot there's a lot of good movies here. Let's do one more round of movies okay, uh, lou um the omen yeah, yeah, I never did this for you.
Speaker 4:That was messed up. That that was shocking. Was that? Yeah, I was 15. Oh, I never saw. I never. I don't think I ever saw anything like that before. Yeah, I think, after night of the living dead, for me this was the second scariest movie I think I'd seen.
Speaker 3:When you, when you grow up when you grow up in a very strict religious household where you have a literal translation of the bible. This movie was, like to me, cool because it scared the shit out of me that if you read the book, the very first line says god is dead, and I thought to myself how could god be dead? You know, and it's just like yeah it's where the priest gets the spear through him, or whatever.
Speaker 1:I was like that was like I have a friend that we grew up with. Name is timmy king. His father was the governor of massachusetts for for a term, fucking looks just like damien. Oh shit, it looked just like him look just fucking like him he was a fucking crazy motherfucker.
Speaker 4:Cute little kid, yeah, yeah uh, the scene where he turns around and looks at everybody.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go with. Are you going to pull those pistols and whistle Dixie?
Speaker 4:Ah, that was Josie Wells.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the poor dog. How many times did that dog get spit on or close to it? Close enough, right yeah, today is a good day to die. That was that movie right, great movie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think it was With the Indian, the old Indian. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Today is a Good Day to Die, yeah, and then he never dies. He's like you're not dying, right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he hit it right when he did those movies in the 70s, because he got away from the spaghetti Westerns and he did westerns the way he thought they should be done and they were great. You know, like those were clint eastwood clint eastwood ever done a bad movie I would say this he's one of these actors if the movie's not good, he is great in it. I've never like I wasn't a fan of the one where he's a confederate uh, confederate soldier and he's like yeah, the beguiled.
Speaker 1:the beguiled itiled, but he was great in it. They cut his leg off.
Speaker 3:And then the other one play Misty. For me it's kind of esoteric, but he's great in it.
Speaker 1:That's kind of different for him too, I think he wanted to do that because you don't want to pigeonhole yourself and he was getting pigeonholed.
Speaker 4:That's why he did those comedies too?
Speaker 1:Right Turn Clyde Awesome movies. Did man with no name? Comedies too, uh, right turn clyde awesome movies.
Speaker 4:They're gonna fucking italy, make some fucking westerns so outlawed josie wales, great movie, great movie yeah yeah, great movie then pal rider are just like companion pieces so no pale rider that was the 80s, it wasn't no it wasn't outlawed.
Speaker 1:Josie's wheels pale rider was the, uh, the, the sequel to high plains drifter. Right, okay, right right.
Speaker 4:He just came out of nowhere there's a link, like he's supposed to, maybe the same character yeah, right, only he's a preacher.
Speaker 1:But yeah, this is later, a little later on, and uh, but yeah, uh, high plains Drifter, another fucking. I mean epic. But the good, the bad and the ugly is the greatest Western ever made. Just bought it on 4K Greatest Western ever made and for the 4K.
Speaker 3:It's amazing, it's better than the bridges of Madison County all right, all right, I'll stick with clint and I'll go with the enforcer, because you can't go wrong with any dirty harry movie nope, you cannot, you cannot.
Speaker 1:Um, I have this little thing that I stumbled on.

An initial album released in the spring, I know 71 flopped. A second the following year landed them on the charts. The captain in me broke the Doobie Brothers nationally with its blazing lead-off single Long Train Runnin'. Like music, long Train Runnin' was written by Johnston and bore the trademark sound of guitar-based rock and roll with a driving beat. I don't know what this means then. It doesn't give us the meaning of the song. How it was. Fucking.
